I think his solo stuff is pretty good, and in my opinion was probably outshining the Maiden output without him.  Bruce has a pretty versatile voice which definitely suited some of the "poppier" stuff he did, particularly the first solo album.  I loved his cover of All The Young Dudes.
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

Bruce is a really solid solo artist. I loved his cover of All The Young Dudes. Even his shitty albums are at least good. I bought Samson's catalogue on the fact that Bruce sang for them pre-Maiden.

Mind you- Blaze is awesome totally fucking awesome, too.

Just not with Maiden.

I dig Wolfsbane. I dig Blaze. I dig Blaze a lot actually. Tenth Dimension is one of my favorite albums.

But X Factor sucked. Virtual XI sucked. What happened Blaze? Steve?

Oh you got Bruce back due to Blaze's allergies. Never mind. Now you can both make better music separately.

Iron Maiden is to be fronted by Bruce Dickinson and no one else.

Iron Maiden's proper line up is a hybrid of Seventh Son of A Seventh Son and No Prayer For The Dying. Only because Janick EARNED his place and took a lot of flak for not being Adrian. I love this line up. It should never change. Ever.

And let's face it. Accident of Birth and Chemical Wedding will both be heavier than ANYTHING that Maiden puts out.

Not disrespecting the godhood of Maiden.

Just saying, there's two albums out there that are really great.

And Tyranny of Souls was not bad either, but Bruce and Roy need to top that to reach Chemical Wedding status.

Incidentally, Chemical Wedding was the album that convinced me that Drop-D was acceptable, so long as you knew what you were doing.

Drop D is guitar jargon. It basically means a tuning where you can play heavy chords quickly with little skill (You can play drop D with all of your other fingers amputated). The Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson is a prime example of this, and why I used to hate Drop D.

(Practically all of Chemical Wedding, one of my favs albums, is in Drop D. The lowest note you hear is D, where normally it would be E).:

Also me and Villager rocking out together towards the end.

ugh. I need my Villager fix never mind here ya go feel free to rip it apart.

And let's face it, Scram fro me Brazil is one of the best live albums to come out the last 15 years.

If there was one thing to point at with Bruce's solo work, it is that he very often is a shitty lyricist.

This is true. Well, it's not the lyrics so much as the subject matter. Well, I'm not exactly sure what Laughing in the Hiding Bush is about, so I dunno, maybe you're right.

I like a lot of his subject matter. He just all too often falls into cliched rhymes and suchlike. It annoys the fuck out of me from time to time.

And while the subject matter is good its difficult to write a song about such things without sounding a little silly.

True enough, but he COULD stop using name/game all the feckin' time.
Not that this diminishes the enjoyment I get from his music, mind you.

And sometimes his lyrics are positively sublime. Arc of Space and Omega are two examples.

Arc of space is just fucking beautiful. Those two songs were a great close to accident of birth.
